PrintHow am I Alive - Over the next two days I'll be detoxing and doing whatever I can to catch up on lost sleep while still managing a 9-hour workday. Be patient with me.
Our Football > Your Football - Unless you're Florida, of course. Tomorrow, ESPN's College Football Live -- which has been episodically featuring every American State's contribution to college football -- will focus on The Hospitality State herself. Follow the linkage for some polls (why the undefeated '62 Rebels are not one of the choices at "Best Team" is beyond me) and get your DVR ready. It should be very interesting.
Kinda Like "Unicorn vs. Griffin" - Continuing with the Worldwide Leader in Sports, "Mythical Challenges" of "this conference" vs. "that conference" are all the rage over there right now. The lack of anything eventful to write about has sent their college football coverage into a tailspin of hypotheticals and inconsequentials. The link will send you to a panel among Ivan Maisel, Chris Low, and Tim Griffin. Chris Low, per the usual, likes our Rebs.
Space Filler - Houston Nutt won some prize for telling little kids to wear the life jacket. Yep, I just included that in the Rebel Roundup... unbelievable. Honesty, when considering the fact that the next Ole Miss sporting event is a womens soccer matchup against UAB on August 23, we're going to be struggling around here. Hopefully some players will get tossed in the clinker for gettin' dranked or Andy Kennedy will beat up another cab driver. We need content, dammit.

That's why we pay you the big bucks...
Granted, it IS a slow time of year, but we are counting on you to rise to the occasion and provide the content! I’ve been a full dues-paying member for a whole week now and have to have it! With all due respect Mr. Cutler, you’ve had your lil NYC fling now, so crawl out of the rack & start producing: sniff out the prospective new chancellors & handicap them from a “who’s best for UM athletics” standpoint; bring us up to date on the performances of former Rebs in the minor leagues [how is Lance Lyinn hitting for the Springfield Cards??]; which OM footballers are on campus this summer & what are they really doing?; dispatch a man to Flagstaff for an in-depth preview of Northern Arizona!; while you’re at it, hit the road to Hammond for a report on S.E. La. . . . I could go on and on. . . but don’t make me!
Hammond's a Hell of a town...
…well, no, not really. I vaguely recall the co-eds at SLU being pretty cute, though.

You guys suck
The Los Angeles Lakers won the NBA Finals. Pau Gasol is a member of the Los Angeles Lakers. Pau Gasol is from Spain. Spain is part of the European sub-continent. The European subcontinent is where a lot of our tennis players are from.
Now how about you blog about THAT???
The 59 Rebs were the best team in the history of the state.
They were better than the 62 team that went undefeated.
Remember the 59 Rebs only gave up 21 points for the entire season, 7 of which came on that infamous Billy Cannon punt return TD. So the defense only gave up 2 TDs all year, in 11 games.
Not only that, but the 1959 Rebels averaged the highest point per game total in school history, and they weren’t passed in that category until David Cutcliffe was our coach. So they had the best defense in school history coupled with the best offense in school history (prior to Cutcliffe and Manning).
It shouldn’t even be an argument for which team was the best in state history.
Actually
It is my understanding that the defense gave up ZERO points that season. The offense gave up seven, and special teams gave up fourteen.
